No new dna matches?
« on: Sunday 17 June 18 13:32 BST (UK) »
Has anybody else found that new matches have totally dried up?  I was getting at least 1 4th cousin a day at first but I haven't had anyone new for over a week?

Is this on Ancestry?

I had a batch earlier in the week and usually get a few each week. Not that many though.

It might be that there are no people who match with you submitting tests at the moment. It is working though.

Depending on the timing it could be that a lot of people got them as Christmas presents and have slowly been turning them in. Now it has got to June, the majority who are going to return the tests have done so.
